Lyrics

Pierre Lapointe - Coulent les rires

Tu craches de ta bouche tous tes éclats de rire
Pour oublier le bonheur et la joie que tu n'as pas
Tu gardes sur ton cœur l'étrange souvenir
De la légèreté de l'enfance qui commence à flétrir Mais où vas-tu, courant derrière tes pas
Écorchant ton visage, en empilant les voyages?
Mais que fais-tu, te barbouillant de tes dires
Quand tu te sens rougir, trahi par tes soupirs?
Quand tu ne sais comment nous dire
Que, toi aussi, tu pleures
Que tu saignes du cœurPierre Lapointe - Coulent les rires - http://motolyrics.com/pierre-lapointe/coulent-les-rires-lyrics-english-translation.html
Quand de ta bouche coulent les rires Tu nous cries sans cesse que tu gardes la foi
Face aux tristesses, aux malheurs qui s'acharnent sur toi
Tu camoufles tes pleurs, sous d'imposantes voix
Qui chantent pour toi l'alleluia d'un bonheur que tu n'as pas Mais promets-toi qu'un jour tu resteras
Face aux fausses paroles, autre chose qu'un guignol
Mais promets-toi que tu ne resteras pas
Dans toutes tes courses folles, celui qui toujours rigole
Sans s'avouer qu'il ne sait dire Que lui aussi pleure
Qu'il saigne du cœur
Quand de sa bouche coulent les rires

Pierre Lapointe - Laughter Flows (English translation)

You spit out of your mouth all your bursts of laughter
To forget about the happiness and the joy you don't have
You keep on your heart the strange memory
Of youth's lightness, which is now beginning to wilt

But where are you going, running behind your footsteps,
Grazing your face, piling up the journeys?
But what are you doing, dirtying yourself with your words
When you feel yourself blush, betrayed by your sighs?
When you don't know how to tell us
That you cry, too
That your heart is bleedingPierre Lapointe - Coulent les rires - http://motolyrics.com/pierre-lapointe/coulent-les-rires-lyrics-english-translation.html
When laughter flows out of your mouth

You keep shouting at us that you keep the faith
In the face of sadness, of the sorrows which harass you
You conceal your tears behind imposing voices
Which sing for you the hallelujah of a happiness you don't have

But promise me that someday you'll be
More than just another clown when faced with false words
But promise me that you wont always be
The one who's always laughing in all of your crazy races
Without admitting that he doesn't know how to say

That he cries, too
That his heart is bleeding
When laughter flows out of his mouth
